v0.32.0

Version 0.32.0

Happy holidays, and happy (almost) new year!! ❄️☃️🎄🎊 This will be our last release of the year, and we'd like to thank everyone who has contributed to Mitiq over the past 12 months. We've accomplished so much in the way of error mitigation this year, and we couldn't have done it without the support and time given by the volunteers.
Thank you!

The calibrator logs have been revamped for to support result discovery and analysis. The Calibrator.run method now support two options: flat and cartesian to display the experiment results in either a linear fashion, or grid-like. Results here have been truncated for brevity.

New benchmarking circuits: mitiq.benchmarks now contains a function generate_random_clifford_t_circuit which does what it says on the tin. Special shoutout to new UF team member Farrokh Labib (@FarLab) for this contribution.

from mitiq.benchmarks import generate_random_clifford_t_circuit

clifft = generate_random_clifford_t_circuit(
    num_qubits=2,
    num_oneq_cliffords=5,
    num_twoq_cliffords=5,
    num_t_gates=5
)
print(clifft)

The Executor.run method now supports a single circuit instance in addition to a list for ease of use when working with a single circuit.

- executor.run([circuit])
+ executor.run(circuit)

Faster Tests! Working on Mitiq has never been easier to develop with a faster (by 36%) test suite.

v0.29.0

Version 0.29.0

Summary

Update Pauli Twirling

Thanks to @purva-thakre for updating Mitiq's PT functions, clarifying that PT is a noise tailoring technique and for consolidating utilities to be shared between PT and other techniques.
This release replaces the execute_with_pt function with pauli_twirl_circuit.

from mitiq.pt.pt import pauli_twirl_circuit

pauli_twirl_circuit(circuit)

Classical Shadows

Top-level functions and tests for classical shadows estimation are now available in Mitiq.
Congrats @Min-Li on completing the main functionality for this technique!
Note that documentation for classical shadows estimation is not yet available but coming soon.

from mitiq.shadows.shadows import shadow_quantum_processing, classical_post_processing

shadow_outcomes = shadow_quantum_processing(circuit, executor, num_total_measurements_shadow)
results = classical_post_processing(shadow_outcomes)

Stim + Mitiq tutorial

Added a tutorial demonstrating a method of combining quantum error mitigation (QEM) and quantum error correction (QEC), reducing the effective logical error rate of the computation.
This tutorial also introduces the use of Mitiq’s ZNE functions with a new backend, the Stim stabilizer simulator.

Calibration, Testing, and Documentation

Streamlined formatting of calibration logs, removed redundant test cases, and fixed documentation issues.
Thanks @natestemen for these improvements and for reviewing many of the PRs in this release!

Also, congrats to our new contributor @bdg221 for closing their first Mitiq PR! 🎉

Summary

Quantum Subspace Expansion

With the main functionaly implemented, quantum subspace expansion is now available in Mitiq! The technique requires a sequence of check operators, a Hamiltonian, and an observable in addition to the typical circuit and executor that Mitiq needs to operate.

from mitiq.qse import execute_with_qse

execute_with_qse(circuit, executor, check_operators, code_hamiltonian, observable)

This feature is still in flux, and would greatly benefit from further testing. Do give a try, and let us know if you have feedback! More details can be found in our API-doc. Congratulations to @bubakazouba for the great work here.

PEC Calibration

Last release we added support to run PEC experiments within the calibration module. This release we made two improvements:

1. Calibration experiments now represent all two-qubit gates by default (previously this was just $\mathrm{C}X$ and $\mathrm{C}Z$ gates.)
2. When running calibrator.run(log=True) you will now find results from your PEC pretty-printed alongside any ZNE experiments.

Installation

Our core dependencies (NumPy, Cirq, SciPy) are now less tightly specified which means easier installs for users!

Robust Shadow Estimation

v0.26.0

Summary

Highlights from this release include functions for applying Pauli Twirling of CNOT and CZ gates, support for noise scaling by circuit layer in ZNE, functions to generate Quantum Phase Estimation benchmarking circuits, and a new example composing two Mitiq techniques: REM and ZNE.
Special thanks to UF Ambassadors Purva Thakre and Aaron Robertson for their contributions to this release!

The use of the Pauli Twirling module is demonstrated in the following code cell^*.

from mitiq import pt
twirled_value = pt.execute_with_pauli_twirling(circuit, expval_executor)

^*Thorough testing and documentation of Pauli Twirling to follow in future releases.
If any bugs or inconsistencies are encountered, please open an issue.

v0.25.0

Summary

Highlights from this release include a bug fixed in DDD, extended documentation for identity insertion as a noise scaling technique, new results from testing DDD on IBMQ hardware, a new function mitiq.benchmarks.w_state_circuits.generate_w_circuit to generate W-state circuits, and a finalized calibration API. The new calibration module can be used as such:

from mitiq import Calibrator

cal = Calibrator(execute, frontend="cirq")
cal.execute_with_mitigation(circuit, expval_executor)

Breaking Changes: The force_run_all option for the evaluate method defined on Executor objects now defaults to True.

Changelog

Version 0.24.0

Highlights of this release include refactoring of parts of the PEC module, improvements to the Calibration data and settings structures,
completion of the REM section of the user guide, and the publishing of a Mitiq tutorial first presented as a lab exercise at the SQMS/GGI 2022 Summer School on Quantum Simulation of Field Theories.
Special thanks to UF Ambassadors Amir Ebrahimi and Purva Thakre for their contributions to this release!
